Join world-renowned children's author and illustrator Tomie dePaola's and his beloved and classic characters in this book celebrating the four seasons...

What could be more fun than sunny days with your friends?  The weather is getting warm and Mister Frog, Mistress Pig, Missy Cat, and Master Dog are looking forward to pleasant days spent in the park, rowing, and tending to their gardens.  But their plans don't always turn out the way they think! They learn that it doesn't matter how those carefree days are spent—as long as you're with your friends!

It's autumn! The air is cool and crisp, and the leaves have changed to bright golds and reds.  Mistress Pig wants to celebrate her favorite season by cooking a big feast for her friends.  Mister Frog, Missy Cat, and Master Dog can't wait to taste all the delicious food.  But why is it taking so long for Mistress Pig to come out of the kitchen?  You'll never believe what happened to dinner!  They realize that every meal tastes better when served with a healthy dollop of friendship.

Mister Frog has slept through Christmas every year, and every year he has listened to his three friends talk about how wonderful it is.  

"Oh Froggy, you would love it!  Turkey, plum pudding, candy canes, lots of good things to eat," says Mistress Pig.  

"Candles, angels, and Christmas trees," says Missy Cat.

"Yule logs, Christmas carols and Santa Claus," adds Master Dog.

And this year, Mister Frog is determined not to miss it—but oh, if he could just take one small nap...

Infused with comradely warmth and colorfully irresistible pictures, Four Stories for Four Seasons is a present just waiting to be opened.
